Set of Six Rush-Seated Chairs in Oak, France, 1940s

About the Item

Set of Six Rush-Seated Chairs in Oak, France, 1940s Evoking the tactile restraint of French alpine modernism A meditation on simplicity and tactile clarity, this set of six French oak chairs from the 1940s speaks to the quiet power of vernacular form—where material truth and rural craft converge into objects of lasting rhythm and poise. Each chair is constructed in solid oak with square-tapered legs, simple turned stretchers, and a dry, natural finish that reveals the grain’s quiet complexity. The seats and backs are hand-woven in rush, arranged in geometric lozenges that recall both the alpine modernism of Charlotte Perriand and the symbolic geometry found in Pyrenean mountain joinery. Though unsigned, the chairs likely emerged from a regional workshop in southwestern France, where artisanal production was guided more by rhythm and ritual than by ornament. Their proportions are subtly architectural, yet their presence remains grounded—at once sculptural and domestic. Age has brought a softening of tone and texture: the rush patinated to a mellow hue, the oak weathered with grace. Structurally sound and functionally intact, the set remains as relevant today as it was eighty years ago—testament to a material language that transcends fashion. These pieces lend themselves to interiors of wabi-sabi minimalism, Brutalist tactility, or alpine warmth. Perfect in quiet dialogue with heavier forms—an oak dining table, a lime-plastered wall, or natural stone flooring. Available for private acquisition. For condition notes or installation guidance, please contact our curatorial team.
